Return To 1998

Chapter 25: Mother's partiality, small plan

   After hearing Xu Changsheng's complaints, Xu Tongdao had some thoughts in his heart, but he did not immediately tell Xu Changsheng at this time.

  Because he felt it was not time to say.

  ...

   At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Ge Xiaozhu came to replace his son Xu Tongdao.

   After all, mothers love their sons.

  Xu Tongdao asked her why she came so early, didn’t she say that she would come back in the evening?

Ge Xiaozhu walked up to him and said in a low voice: "You go home early for dinner. Xiaolinzi's mother gave us a slice of pork and dozens of eggs this morning. The old duck stewed at home yesterday was not eaten. , I specially left some for you at home, so you can go back and eat! By the way, there is also the fish that Xiaolu made yesterday. Go back and eat it! Hurry up!"

   So, Xu Tongdao went back.

   As for Xu Changsheng?

   This stepmother has been living in Weishang recently, and no one has ever replaced him in his family.

   When Xu Tongdao walked, Xu Changsheng, who was sitting under the eaves, could only look at him eagerly.

   When Xu Tongdao went home yesterday, he was accompanied by Xu Tonglin along the way. Today he is alone.

   is also just convenient for him to consider the small business of skewers along the way.

   The investment in this small business does not need to be large, but it also costs several hundred yuan.

   And he only has a hundred dollars on him now.

   That's it, he left it on purpose before.

He wanted to return more than 700 yuan from those people who emptied his house. Yesterday he gave 600 yuan to his mother. He left more than 100. He was planning to go to the county to find a job a few days later. There is no monthly salary, and it is used for food and drink.

   For these hundred dollars, I want to do the skewers business, but I guess it’s a bit less.

   After all, he has never done barbecue before, so he has to buy some ingredients and try it out a few times.

   If the number of times is not enough, the cost of trial production has to be increased.

   Asking mother for money?

   This option is not in his consideration.

   I gave my mother 600 yesterday. This morning, the one hundred and five that sold black fish and old turtles was also given to her mother, which adds up to 750.

   The money is reserved for my younger brother and sister to open the journal name. Usually the family still buys some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. He can't move that money.

so…

   I have to find a way to earn more these days.

   Of course, he can also choose to go to his relatives' house, or borrow some from Xu Tonglin's house, and if he lays his face down and speaks, he should be able to borrow some.

   But he just didn't want to give up that face.

   In order to survive, to make money, he can do all kinds of work, regardless of his decency.

   But opening his mouth to borrow money from someone is not a last resort, he is reluctant to consider it.

  Xu Tongdao walked all the way and thought about it, and slowly got his thoughts.

  When I got home, my sister Ge Yuzhu was feeding chickens to the chicken coop. Xu Tongdao didn't see his brother Xu Tonglu, so when he walked in, he asked, "Where is your second brother?"

   "Big brother, are you back? I'm ready to serve you food right away! Second brother is reading in the room! Second brother! Big brother is back, come out for dinner soon!"

   Ge Yuzhu was very happy to see Xu Tongdao coming back.

   hurriedly tossed all the chicken food in his hand into the chicken coop, patted his little hand, shouted at the door of the room, and quickly turned around and ran to the kitchen to serve the food.

"coming…"

   Xu Tonglu's voice came from the room, the door opened, and Xu Tongdao glanced at him. Xu Tonglu still didn't look at him, his face was expressionless, but this kid is clean today. It seems that he shouldn't go out to fish today.

   "Did you read a book for a day at home today?"

   Xu Tongdao still couldn't help but ask.

   Xu Tonglu was still expressionless, and walked in front of him with a hum.

   This kid...

  Xu Tongdao smiled, very pleased in his heart, so he didn't care about the appearance of this arrogant boy.

   When the food was on the table, Xu Tongdao really saw fish and meat, old duck soup, and a plate of fried water spinach.

   There are meat and vegetables. At first glance, the food in his family is very good. It doesn't look like the day is difficult and it is almost impossible to eat.

   "Brother, this old duck leg was specially reserved for you by Mom, you can eat it!"

   Sister Ge Yuzhu picked up an old duck leg and put it on his rice head, smiling and urging him to eat quickly.

  Xu Tongdao was startled.

   The mother is not bad to this daughter who has been adopted since childhood. He knows this, but he also knows that the mother is still a little bit biased when it comes to eating and drinking.

   For example, when eating chicken or duck on Chinese New Year holidays, he always has one of two chicken legs or two duck legs, one for his brother Xu Tonglu, and one for his younger sister Ge Yuzhu.

   This old duck was stewed yesterday. He didn't eat at home last night, and he couldn't eat porridge in the morning. He was still not at home at noon today. It stands to reason that the two duck legs should have been shared with younger brother and younger sister.

   But his mother still kept one specially for him till now.

   "You didn't eat the other leg, right?"

  Xu Tongdao smiled and asked Ge Yuzhu.

   Ge Yuzhu smiled, shook his head and said: "It's okay! Mom divided a large piece of duck breast for me. I love that. This leg is specially reserved for you. Brother, eat it!"

  Xu Tongdao could see that my sister really didn't mind.

The smile on   's face is not forced.

   She should have been used to it since she was a child, this girl has been easily satisfied since she was a child.

  Xu Tongdao smiled faintly, picked up the duck legs on the rice head, and put it in her bowl.

   "You can eat it! I like to eat duck neck, this is for you!"

   Ge Yuzhu was surprised. UU read www.uukanshu.com and said hurriedly: "Big brother! Mom left this for you specially. Besides, I don’t like duck legs..."

   said, he would pick up the duck leg and return it to him.

  Xu Tongdao gave her a cross and emphasized his tone, "If you let you eat it, you can eat it! I said that I don't like it!"

   Ge Yuzhu: "..."

   bit her lip lightly, Ge Yuzhu whispered: "Thank you, brother."

   Xu Tonglu has been eating on his own without interrupting the whole process.

   Until this time, he glanced at Xu Tongdao coldly, and still did not speak.

  Xu Tongdao took a few bites of rice in his mouth, and when he raised his hand to pick up the vegetables, he asked in passing: "Yuzhu, today I asked you to sell fish. Have you sold it? Can you sell it?"

"Sold it! Brother, let me tell you that I sold it for eighteen yuan! I can't say whether it's good to sell or not. Recently, many people have bought fish by themselves, but my mom asked me to sell it cheaply, so that A few catties of fish were sold out before we left our village, and I gave all the money to mom."

   "Give it to mom? Didn't I let you keep it for yourself?" Xu Tongdao was a little surprised.

   Ge Yuzhu smiled and shook his head, "Eighteen yuan! Brother, I have nothing to buy, so much money, it's better to give it to mom, right?"

Xu Tongdao looked at her and did not continue to talk about this topic, but said: "It's fine to sell, so that, in the next few days, I will go out to engage in fish, and then you will sell it! Don't sell the money. Give it to our mother, give it to me! I'm useful!"

   Ge Yuzhu and Xu Tonglu were both surprised, and both of them looked at Xu Tongdao subconsciously and suspiciously.

   Ge Yuzhu: "Brother, what use is it for you to ask for money?"

   "You will know in a few days, eat! Don't have so many questions!"

   Xu Tongdao has no interest in explaining.
